The Annual General Assembly is taking place on July 17-19, 2026

We would like to inform Citizens that this year’s General Assembly mail-out will be delayed by two days.

To ensure that all General Assembly Resolutions are included in the package, additional time is needed following the resolution submission deadline. The Resolutions Committee must review all submissions, meet to discuss them, and complete the required legal review process before the package can be finalized.

As a result, mail-out packages are now expected to be sent on June 19, 2026. The package will include all General Assembly documents, resolutions, and the agenda.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to ensure all materials are complete and available for review.

Government House, Mayo, Jul 17-18

July 17 | 9am – 5pm
July 18 | 9am – 12pm
Government House, Mayo

The Kwän Dék’án’ Do project invites NND Citizens to come and check out how we’re preserving and reigniting Northern Tutchone for our community and future generations.

Using emerging technology such as virtual reality, holopresence, and artificial intelligence, we’re creating a language and cultural record to both safeguard and support active learning for all.

Learn more about work that has been done, how you can get involved, and next steps for the work.
